Slapping a clip-art N on the side of a picture of a golden helmet and using the Lombardi trophy to symbolize the district championship. Cute. ;D

[quote name="NDNation" post="1328492" timestamp="1352755212"] Did we sign a release saying you could use our name? :D [/quote] Just be happy they spelled it right. Half the groups that use our name can't even do that. Although they did forget the hyphen. ;D

Regardless of what happened or how it ended, the Indians of 2012 gave it their all. The Indian Nation is proud of them for that. Here's to a bunch of dedicated players and a promising future for Indian football. Scalp 'em.

[quote name="Txdragon" post="1326012" timestamp="1352525879"] Wished I could say Vidor, want to say Vidor, but I have to say Summer Creek. [/quote] Same here. I hope Vidor proves me wrong, but I just don't see Summer Creek going out in the first round. [quote author=robanadana link=topic=106059.msg1326035#msg1326035 date=1352526666] [quote author=dayton link=topic=106059.msg1326019#msg1326019 date=1352526141] I think this can be an interesting game. SC's balance is gonna be tought to beat. They're a good 5A team, in the 4A bracket, IMO. There's always a couple of those type teams every year. Good luck to Vidor. Keep those chains moving! [/quote] Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how you have 2100 kids and be 4A. We're even smaller than y'all. 700 kids difference is like playing a 4A and 3A school combined. [/quote] Same song, second verse. It's PN-G vs. Manvel all over again. And no, it isn't fair. And based on the way the UIL went about finally creating a 6A classification, it won't get fixed any time soon.

[quote name="NDN 91 Fan" post="1325319" timestamp="1352515366"] PNG Defense has been weak for the last 4 years.  Do you think its because everyone only learns 1 position and the best athletes do not play both ways.  You can't coach with a 5A mentality with 4A players.  You cant expect to outscore everyone (except for this year) without playing defense. Here's a thought: Instead of switching out defensive coordinators every couple of years how about getting out of the 3 /4 defense. It works great when you have massive D-lineman at the 5A levels but unfortunately we do not have that. You cant put all of the blame on the players when you change nothing on defense. Wake up ! The Honeymoon period is over !! [/quote] Not the last four years. In 2009, we had the best defense in the district and one of the best in the state. That defense held Lumberton to 6 points, Livingston, Nederland, Barbers Hill (the second time), and Crosby to 7 points, a very experienced and highly vaunted Vidor team to 13, a fast Texas City to 16 and a fast Ozen to 20, an explosive, lightening fast Central offense to 22 points, and eventual state finalist Brenham to 27. The following year, the defense started out rough, but got better as the season went on and was good enough to help our offense take us on the deepest playoff run since 1999. It's only been the last two years that the defense has really suffered, and based on the scores so far this year at sub-varsity levels, that may not be the case much longer (hopefully won't).

Did Barbers Hill ever expand the stands for the visiting band? That was worse than Livingston.

As I understand it, PN-G placed first in district in both JV and freshman play this year. The JV team ended the season tonight with an 8-2 record and the Freshman Purple team ended at 10-0. The future is bright at PN-G.

I wouldn't mind paying a monthly or yearly fee, if thats what it takes to keep going. [/quote] Yep, small businesses or even the heavy industry in the area might be willing to pay for advertising, especially with the amount of site views that we get. [/quote] That's a real possibility. Several of the local refineries sponsor the Friday night broadcasts. A couple might be willing to put money into the site in return for advertisement here and getting mentioned on the Tuesday night preview shows. Or better yet, look into some sports memorabilia stores. A lot of local shops in Jefferson County sell stuff for the local teams. It seems like advertising on a high school sports site would go hand in hand with their business.

I sent three messages to three different moderators and got nothing conclusive. Two weren't sure and one didn't really give an answer.

Oh, this is a hard one. I'm going with Bill and Hillary. I don't think I'd want to make Hillary mad, and neither would Bill. ;D

[quote name="RaiderGirl92" post="1321358" timestamp="1352177023"] Beat Nederland for our first trip ever to playoffs (: Lol I'm going through old threads reading through the Lumberton ones! [/quote] That's right. That was the year that broke Nederland's string of playoff appearances.

Lumberton clinched a share of the district championship with a PN-G loss to Dayton.

They function as a unit - with one heartbeat, as an old coach would say. I don't blame the QB for wanting to stay with his team. [/quote] I have heard this also. Keeping them together would benefit us in the long run (maybe state), and he would get more playing time instead of being backup to Walker. [/quote] I don't want to count any unhatched chickens, but I think this freshman group is going to do the Reservation proud. They've also got a good sophomore group ahead of them and a good 8th grade group behind them. The future is bright at PN-G.

[quote name="NDNation" post="1320044" timestamp="1352069378"] They really should have upgraded the visitor stands...would have made it alot more appealing as a play-off venue. [/quote] We can thank Ike for that. Plans changed halfway through.

[quote name="NDNation" post="1320028" timestamp="1352068027"] The Reservation seats more than the Butch. [/quote] On the home side, yes.

Turner (Humble ISD) Nicely upgraded. 4. Stallworth If Lamar would be more accomodating, then yes. Would PN-G allow the Reservation to be used? I could see Bronco Stadium and Barbers Hill's stadium being used for a neutral site - especially 3A. [/quote] PN-G Visitor's side isn't big enough.. [/quote] PN-G's visitors' side is the same size as BISD's visitors' side. Both hold 5,000.

The problem isn't coaching - one coaching change is what made Lumberton a power in 2007 and 2008. The problem is the level of talent. The way that district is growing, that problem will correct itself given time.

The question isn't whether or not coaching makes a difference. The better question is how much of a difference it makes and just how it makes that difference. Honestly, that varies from situation to situation, school to school, community to community and season to season.

It may change by the end of the week, but.... 35-10, Ozen Over Lumberton

I got the news about the PN-G freshmen comeback win in class, so I couldn't post. This was the biggest test they've seen so far and they not only hung in there and pulled out the win, but did so without a few of the starters they've had this season. Scalp 'em.

22-13 Ozen Freshman Over PN-G Freshman Purple, 4:32 3rd PN-G Freshman White apparently doesn't have a game today.

[quote name="NDNation" post="1313820" timestamp="1351531987"] History repeats itself...and what goes around comes around..well enough of that! lol [/quote] There's a lot of truth to that statement.... When have all of PN-G's state championship appearances happened? The '50s, '70s, and '90s. During each of those decades, there was always one school that seemed to stand in the way of perfect seasons. In the '50s and '70s, it was TJ or Lincoln depending on the specific season (although ironically, there was a year in there somewhere where we needed TJ and Lincoln to tie in the last district game to go to the playoffs, and that's exactly what happened). In the '90s, it was West Orange-Stark. Brandon Faircloth's undefeated 2009 season and the playoff run that followed were reminiscent of Danny Malone's first season as head coach in 1989, when the Indians went 9-1 (losing to WO-S in the last district game that season, 20-25) and made a state quarter-final appearance in what was the only PN-G playoff appearance of the 1980s. Ironically, head coaches that went on to be successful elsewhere didn't coach at PN-G during the highly successful odd numbered decades, they coached at PN-G only during even numbered decades. Danny Malone is now one of Nebraska's most successful head coaches at Geneva's Fillmore Central HS, and has given the University of Nerbraska Cornhuskers many of their star players. Bum Phillips coached for PN-G in the '60s. But Lew Ford and Gene McCollum, who led us to three consecutive state championship appearances in the mid '50s, took administrative positions within the district. Doug Ethridge, who led the Indians to four straight district championships, a state title, another state final appearance that set the national record for fan attendance that still stands today, a state semi-final appearance and a #3 national ranking in 1975, left the Indians in 1983 and had a mostly quiet career to my knowledge after that. And then there's Matt Burnett, who, with an excellent OC and QB pair working with him, led the Indians through the highly successful 1999 season, which ended with a 14-2 record and a heartbreaking loss to Stephenville in the state championship at the Astrodome in front of 39,000 fans, and he now has an administrative position within the district. It seems that the PN-G football program is cyclical. Odd numbered decades see astounding success at some point. We're kicking off one of those decades now, and interestingly enough, our lower grades seem to be performing very well right now.... Now excuse me while I go find some wood to knock on.
